In-forum game: Money

Postby pesgores » Thu Jun 25, 2009 7:47 am

Yeah. Some forums have it. People have an inventory and some "money" and they sue it for lots of things.

Here I thought it could be used to "sell" designs between members, as a prize of some contest, etc.

How to give Brikash to people:
-Give 2 Brikash for each post each member has at the beggining
-New members get 100 Brikash
-For each post you make, you receive 5 Brikash. 2 of them will be charged as taxes and distributed to the Bank Managers.

Things you could do with Brikash:
-Negotiate LEGO designs/BrikWars supplement rules/avatars and signatures
-Buy effects for your name in the forum
-Buy armies at the shop, like, minifigs, vehicles (custom vehicles posted by members as well, after approved), stuff (yeah, and have an Inventory with stuff you would like)
-Laugh on the face of poor members

Of course, I don't know if this forum has that application, but some have, and it's really cool.

Who should be Bank Managers:
-pesgores
-IVhorseman
-Almighty Benny
-Blitzen
-Rayhawk

And, if possible, add a "battle simulator" where someone could face other member with their army and really have "Forum Battles"! Oh yeah!

No. I was thinking about not giving Brkash for every post and i wrote it like that, but then I realised it was stupid and edited it. Failed that, sorry.

No way, if BrikWars had a rewards system I would use it to reward members NOT to post. For each post you make, you get charged $2 and they're given to me. Also for the purpose of giving me dollars I think it would be better if they were real dollars.

Here's how I would design it (if I were to implement such a thing, which I won't, since I am far too lazy):
    1. At midnight, if a member has less than $10, the system either sets his cash to $10 or adds $(2,000/user's current postcount), whichever is less.
    2. Anyone with $10 or less cannot make trades or purchases, or give tips. They can only post. Each post costs $2.
    3. The only way to get more cash is to write posts that people enjoy enough to give you some of their own money as a tip.
    4. Rayhawk starts the game with $1,000,000. Everyone else starts with $10. Pesgores starts with $5 for being impudent.
    5. Instead of temp-banning people I can just set their cash value to something negative like $-100,000 and make them wait for it to build back up to zero. Ha ha ha. People who already have way too many posts then have to wait a lot longer than people who've posted in moderation. Again, ha ha ha.

That's a really dumb idea.

After reading the Pot thread, "brikash" made me think of hash.
